Glycolic acid, which is used for chemical peels, is one of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), a group of naturally occurring substances often referred to "fruit acids" because they are found naturally in fruits and other foods. In its natural state, glycolic acid is found in sugar cane juice.

How Does It Work?

A glycolic acid peel procedure is a specific technique for skin renewal. With this process, a high concentration of glycolic acid rapidly removes the damaged layer of dead skin cells revealing the fresh, undamaged skin underneath. This release of surface dead skin cells initiates the response of deeper skin cell rebuilding and restructuring. This activity causes the surface skin to appear healthier, plumper and tighter.
